I love Rener's enthusiasm. If you watch many videos with him in them, you will notice that has gets really excited about what most would deem mundane. I appreciate how he enjoys all things. If you are not excited about something, find something.

It's genius like this that landed us on the moon.

This has got to be one of the best secrets I have ever learned. No joke!

at 4:30 "Keep jiggling and wiggling." Good string pull-through advice, as well as mount escape.

Rener has a technique for EVERYTHING! His Renergy and enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you sir!

This guy pulled a wire hangar from his gi im dead LOL

Leave it to a Gracie to teach restringing pants the same way he teaches passing guard

Rener's video's show his personality as being a funny, sarcastic but down to earth guy. I met him at a seminar at the martial arts academy I train at last year. He really is an awesome guy, after the seminar, all of us that train at that school, the instructor and Rener went out to eat, it was pretty awesome.

life changing

This information is absolutely mind blowing. No joke. I thought all along the crazy tying on one side is the proper way all along! It's not until this day, watching this very video that I learn the proper way to tie the pants. And count it, 3 different techniques to get the rope in the right position. Thank you Master Rener!

He might be enjoying that last part a little too much

how can you not love this guy?!

I don't know anything about jiu jitsu or who Rener is, but how he gets so enthusiastic about gi strings is beyond me.

How can you not love this guy. I'm a grown man watching another grown man restring his pants.

Very entertaining and enlightening. Thank you for this. As I am in my first week of training I can now move forward with knowledge of a professional without suffering years of ignorance.

That last secret technique was my very 1st thought of how to fix it. You were talking about wire hangers and safety pins and I'm like no just pull the good string out farther, tie the bad end to it and pull it through. As I was typing I saw you finally did that at the end.

Ummm, WOW! The absolute best Gracie technique so far! J/K thanks for the heads up Rener!

Thanks Rener that helped.

rener is awesome

I got caught in the strings guard :(

This helps so much but one thing, he calls the knot a "he" then after he says "look at her go through" What gender is the knot?

DUDE, there's a video for this?! YES. I've had annoying gi pants with one string barely out one side for MONTHS. Rener, I love you so much. You don't even know.

Forget about Rickson. Rener is the best Gracie by far! So much fun.

I never saw somebody so happy to be pulling on some string. Rener is the man.

FRIGGIN HILARIOUS ! and always with the enthusiasm and sort of an alarmed disposition to keep everybody watching from even blinking :)) thank you, rener, u are THE MAIN MAN! thanks the gracie family for existing!

Thank You Mr Rener Gracie!

Friggin Rener! You Gracies always suprise me! You're so animated it made me laugh too. God bless you Gracies!

"secrets" and useful life tips are often reside in the most simple things

Gracie Casting Couch. The BJJ BJ.

They HAVE to start holding seminars on these!!!

Rener should teach cub scouts or something kids would love this

*note to self: Put wire hanger in gi. Check. I can't wait to use that wire hanger for a couple of submissions!

@awakenedbeing I thought the exact same thing. His enthusiasm is unparalleled. He is very charismatic, and a great teacher.

One of your most usefult tips ever. Thanks for posting it.

your videos are very entertaining and informative. I know the methods but never thought other junior karateka's might be having a problem with the string and are having a hard time fixing it. Thanks . I will be sure to share your vid with the class.

Just found this video today and unbelievable the string came out of my gi bottoms used the last secret to fix my bottoms and everyone was amazed cause they never seen gi bottoms fixed thatb wat. THANK YOU RENER! and thank you the Gracies

your enthusiasm is always inspirational =]

Thank you Jocko Podcast ep 399!

Sooo i should not keep a wire hanger in my gi while i train???

Dude, you're hilarious! Gotta be a blast to train with. Keep up the very informative everyday life videos!

Rener, if you every decide to leave GJJ, you can always get a career in infomercials. "We have a wire hanger. Literally a wire hanger. Open it up and straighten it out and look what we got, a wire hanger." LMAO This is so fricking insightful I can't believe it! All jokes aside. Your excitment is enviable. Mahalo for that.

That third one was brilliant.

Thank you for this crucial information…

I had already stumbled upon most of these on my own, but I still think it's an extremely cool subject for a "how to" video.

thank you so much!

Well...it all makes sense to me now...I swear I have seen this room and couch before....I think there has been a lot of casting on it. I am sure of it.

This is a true Gracie Secret. I never seen the last method before and it makes the most sense. lol. excellent rener.! thanks so much for posting..

This is serious

I had this problem after my very first BJJ lesson... I'm proud to say that after a moment of thought I came up with the wire hanger technique independently. Good video though.

gracie's have the answers to every problem. so cool

Renner seems like the kind of guy that would have a hard time disciplining people on the mat because he's so nice. He's like a big kid, the kind of guy that just wants to make BJJ fun and hang out with his buds on the mat. I'd love to train with this guy. And his verbal eloquence in teaching is unequaled.

Great video. Thanks!

Thanks! I used the knot method today when I got to class.

Muito Obrigado Rener Y Familia.

lol i think you were more excited about this than any technique video 😂😂

Pay it forward!!!!! Rener for President!!!!!

With Gracie power, comes Gracie responsibility!

I loved this so much 😂

i give props to Rorion's sons. They seem very well adjusted and friendly compared to other people with comparable skills. Being a blackbelt at a young age can easily turn a young man into a trouble-seeking individual, but Rener, Ryron and Ralek seem really cool. (At least from watching their videos, I don't know them.)

Ignoring this critical info could be seen as an insult. Men have died for less!

Rener is awesome!!!

Awesome !!

Lol, I admit I'm not the largest fan of Gracie/Brazilian Jujutsu, but I do respect it as an art. But this guy is awesome. I've been in Karate for 12 years and never had this problem with my Gi pants.

What do people normally do? We'll, if you fix things and, like tools, you know about the flexible grabbing tool. I always take out the strings before I wash and, the tool makes it easy to pull those strings through. Originally, I used a wire hanger, but when I saw my grabbing tool, epiphany! I've never had any problem with the strings catching on each other since I've been doing this.

Would my gi shrink if i put it in the dryer after washing.

@ricktkd69 The wire technique was the insider technique, 'the easiest and most common technique'; the last technique was the secret one.

Omg, that's awesome.I use the wire hanger normally.But some guys at my gym are having this problems, so I can impress them all by showing the last gracie secret.

WOW, that was so cool!

this guys is genious!

i train brazilian jiu jitsu. is there any difference between gracie jiu jitsu & BJJ.

it's fun to hear him. He's kind of funny

Knowledge is power!!

Love these videos, I'm totally howling with laughter, fantastic.. bahahahahaaaa

I have a slight variation which i like to use, tie your pant strings to the loop OR tie them as if you are wearing them before you wash!

I laughed when you took that wired hanger out from your back! xDD

hahaha, rener you are awesome. however, i have one for you.... what if you have a string that breaks???? i have had that happen before, and im forever stuck with a weird side bundle on that particular pair of pants.

Great video! I was able to fix my gi pants thanks for the secrets. My solutions was to wear messed up gi pants until I buy a new one.

As an electrician, I pull wire daily. These techniques were kinda obvious to me. But still a good watch !

Awesome.

" am i going to fast for you? rewind the video, watch it again this is serious i have to go " lol

that couch... guys will know what im talking about lmao

i have been using the 2nd technique long time ago

Does he compete?

You have a gift my friend

"Always train with a coat hanger in your gi" Last last Gracie secret.

rofl the people that don't know about this happen to them will think this is a joke but this is the best technique i ever watched on youtube since the fold a shirt in 1 second

That, is awesome.

U are hilarious.Im a...gosh i hate to say it..40 years old woman.My sons do judo.I decided to join as well.For a reason that is to complex to explain but lets keep it short..im fighting for my freedom..Anyway..being girly-ish i wanted a white and pink gi.So i ordered one.Normally i wear the kids sizes because im small and they have elastic wastes.But with this gi it had rope.Big shock.And i made the classic mistake.These pants are huggggeeeeee omg whyyyyy.So i looked up some help and i found your videos.Ok im doing judo and u do Ji. But rope pants are rope pants so i proceeded watching and not only are your videos extremely helpful.They are also freaking hilarious.U have a major talent for comedy.Thank you for sharing and u rock!

thats very cool using the knot to make a pull line. maybe there is a way to make very flat knot so it slips through easy and is easy to undo. each time i wash my gi I pull out that string so the pants can tumble better for a deeper clean. with practice it just takes me a few minutes to feed it back through before I head to class. use a pen and two short pieces of tape (one for each flat side) and a third shorter tape looping around to bind the circumference. feed the pen through, done deal

Wire hanger can't grip the string to pull it through....

Fun. Funny. Enjoyed.

rener, i think you should have a video on "HOW TO TEACH"...period If my jiu jitsu teacher, my school professor, or anyone else whoever taught me to do anything, can teach like you.....OMG I'll be a genius right now. Just kidding, i would just learn stuff alot faster and actually WANNA learn.

You should put this in the Gracie Combative Set! LoL

Haha johnson3012, i agree. Rener ur great. good teacher good stuff. love the enthusiasm

last secret, mind blown...

There are at least three places in Belfast.

this is very helpful. even if one doesn't grapple with a gi.

yes, so handy

When you thought the video was a joke...but it wasn't a joke

lol i guessed that secret as soon as he showed the problem. good times indeed.
